Yes. Operated on a military budget. There’s a reason they’re not used for civilian use.

Er… how would the military nuclear reactors not be operated on a military budget?

I’m asking for a citation that it is more expensive to operate than a standard pressurized water reactor. Since I did not make the claim that they are more expensive to operate, I don’t have to back that up. That’s how it works. I don’t know everything, but I did look quite deeply into this career path at one point.

You’re not going to find one because the military has an incredibly opaque budget

If I had the time and the resources I’m certain I could. It took me 15 minutes to figure out of the cost per reactor by reading declassified foia documentation.

You’re the one that made the claim they were made by the Navy.
